2025 Valentine Sweet Stroll

Main Street Chillicothe hosted its second Valentine Sweet Stroll on February 13, 2025, inviting the community downtown for an evening of shopping, sweet treats, and Valentine’s Day fun. Despite the snowy weather, the event drew a crowd eager to shake off the winter blues, collect a bag full of delicious sweets, and pick up last-minute gifts for that special someone.

A huge thank you to our event hosts, which included Martin House on Main, Family Affair Creations, Lauhoff Jewelry, Double T Mercantile, Sensenich Jeweler, Lighthouse Marketplace, The Charmed Nook, Beemers Clothing, Livingston County Library, Cultural Corner Art Guild & Gallery, and District Home Decor. Their participation helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all who attended.

Upon check-in, attendees received a swag bag filled with goodies, including a special treat bag sponsored by the Livingston County Library. Sporting festive heart-shaped glasses, guests strolled through downtown, visiting local businesses while gathering sweets and shopping for the perfect Valentine’s gift.

This year’s Sweet Stroll featured confections exclusively from local vendors, adding an extra touch of hometown charm to the event. Attendees indulged in delicious treats from Missouri Coffee Company, Myra’s Custom Creations, Happy Harvest Freeze Dried Candies by Alyssa Allnut, The Mad Batter, B Blacktop, Sugar Spun Sweet Treats, and Candy’s Classic Cakes.

Main Street Chillicothe is thrilled to see the Valentine Sweet Stroll continue to grow, bringing our community together to celebrate the season of love while supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs. A huge thank you to everyone who participated—we can't wait for another sweet celebration next year!
